@Michael Scrip: When I say HP dumped Ballmer I meant that HP has lost confidence in Microsoft and their inability to address the mobile market.

@Michael Scrip: Well it's not like Steve Jobs has products ready the day of his events either. And yes, I am a regular reader so I'm actually excited about this week's tech news stories. And it's all about CES.

@protodad: That was last year proto. Last year was their year to suck. But with honeycomb and it's high requirements on manufacturer's and tablet specific OS design, we're going to see much less suck. MUCH less.

The M9 running android actually does sound appealing. I wonder how the specs will compare to the nexus S, samsung galaxy or the upcoming galaxy player?

@ninja_togo: I'm still gonna 2.3 untouched on it.

@ninja_togo: If not, I'm gonna hack it for sure and a CLEAN version of 2.3 on it. No crappy touch-wiz for me!

If I can get gingerbread on it then I'll probably get it. And how about a better name than YB-GB1 ?

I hate how ugly the current iPad is with it's wide bezel. I would rather a thinner bezel.

@CherM2222: North Dakota.....if it wasn't for the cold I might check that place out for a suitable sight for a bunker. Perhaps a decommissoned missile silo somewhere.

@SophT: Ahhh! Nah, I can't. Where I work in some says is kinda scary. I couldn't get away with something like this. Although, if someone out there has the opportunity and a target worthy of such a dasterdly attack, then by all means....prank away!

I don't got the time or opportunity to take apart someone's monitor at the office.

HP/Palm needs to hit one out of the park.....badly.

Arcades were, are....were magical places.

@animemecha: That's if you get caught in some of the fallout.

@SDSpeed: No. :(

@SDSpeed: Guns are nice. But butt loads of ammo to go along with the guns is nicer.

Why is Obama suddenly preparing the public for a possible nuclear attack?

@chefgon: I'm sorry but I don't agree with you about Ballmer. Quite frankly, he is going to eventually run MS into the ground. It's just that it's taking a VERY long time for that to happen. And that he has so many product groups that odds are there will be minor successes along the way.

As far as Intel goes concerning integrated graphics, I'll believe it when I see it.
